Can you even believe that I wrote up all of this morning’s post without even acknowledging the fact that today is 12/12/12?!? I mean, I’m sure you’ve already heard it about 12,120 times today (bahaha) but you guys know how I am with numbers so I couldn’t let it pass by without giving it a shout out.
So today has been a pretty busy one; I was out the door fairly early for a dentist appointment (no cavities, woop!), which was followed up with a couple errands, and then some work back here at home.
Before leaving the house this morning, I put together a little breakfast of champions
Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Kellogg’s Smart Start (actually from the container I had leftover from when I visited Reebok last month – random, right?), banana slices, chia seeds (<—FYI: if you use my coupon code SAZ564 at iHerb.com, you can get the whole bag for less than $5!), and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
Fast-forward a few hours (and an unphotographed mid-morning banana) later, and it was lunch time.
I was feeling totally indecisive but then I happened to spot the last piece of leftover chicken in the fridge and decided to use it up.
So I made a chicken, provolone, and spinach sandwich on whole wheat bread…
…and it totally knocked my socks off.
Shortly after lunch I also managed to get in some extra reps for my Closeout Workout Challenge (100 of them, to be exact!) and even tried out my new Reebok top.

(No, I didn’t work out in the jeans, juuuuust in case you were wondering.)
Hey, how’d Reebok know my favorite color is purple? I’m really loooooving the top! I wasn’t totally sure about it upon taking it out of the box (it just looked sort of plain) but I really like it on. Super comfy, nice stretchy fabric, and well, it’s purple. ![]()
It’s not up on the Reebok site yet, but I believe it will be later this month, so be on the lookout!
How’s everyone’s Wednesday going so far?? Doing anything fun today?

What kind/flavor of Quaker Oatmeal Squares do you like best (i.e. brown sugar, cinnamon, etc)? I see them all over but haven’t tried them yet… And then whenever I think about trying them, I can’t decide which kind I want so I just give up and move on.

I used to only get the blue box (brown sugar, I think?) but am now eating the honey nut and they are just as good! Love ‘em both
Hehe. I already forgot to make a wish at 12:12. Ah, well.
I’m doing alright. I was really excited to make a chocolate beet cake, but ended up burning the pan (and the beets) that the beets were steaming in. Oh well. Going to make a savory bread pudding with spinach and cheese instead.

I love fun things like 12/12/12!!! I am really sad that this is the last fun day like this probably in our lifetime… Unless we live until we are 200.

I’ve never tried chia seeds but I’ve seen them all over health/fitness blogs. What all do you put them on besides cereal and breakfast items?
Danielle recently posted..Weekend Recap
Mostly just breakfast items for me, although I have sprinkled them in salads before. I know many other people like to use them to make chia pudding and other jellies, but I’ve never attempted that…yet.
Sorry to butt in, but what are the benefits that you’ve seen from chia seeds? I heard that they are poison when broken open, similar to apple seeds, containing aresnic. I used to toss them into my smoothies, but then when I heard that, I stopped. Have you heard anything more definite?
I’ve honestly never heard anything like that about chia seeds. I just tend to use them for their nutritional benefits (omega-3′s, etc.)
Okay, thanks! After posting my question, I started googling it and can’t seem to find anything like that anymore. Hmmm. I guess it’s time to incorporate those back into my smoothies, eh?
If I’m able to find it again, though, I will be sure to share the info with ya.
Happy Wednesday to you! Hooray for no cavities. I am always so relieved to come out of the dentist without having to have scheduled another appointment right away! Yay for you!
My Wednesday is so far so good. I signed up for my first ever half marathon today! Eeeek!

Congrats!!!
Your breakfast makes me want to run out and buy a box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares…immediately. Though I’d probably finish them off in a day! I can’t be trusted around cereal…

Loving purple at the moment too! Cute top, good call on the sambo; you can have a big ole spoonful of something sweet and sugary now that you got a glowing report from the dentist!

I made a wish at 11:11 today 12/12/12 <–I thought it was pretty awesome
Day has been pretty good-nothing too major crazy. Which is probably a good thing b/c the last 2 weeks were nutso.

Purple is my FAV too!!! WOndering which Chia seed on iherb is the one to use coupon code for? Thank you for that coupon BTW!! LOVE Chia seed!
Your cereal bowls are reminding me that I haven’t had a good bowl of cereal in weeks! I’ve been so into oats that I almost forgot how much I love a bowl of mixed cereals. What is wrong with me?

What type of bread do you use? I have been looking for a good whole wheat.

I’m not loyal to any particular brand…I have a few that I go back and forth with, and usually go with whatever is on sale.
I think this particular loaf is somewhat of a local brand, Freihofer’s.
I’m such a numbers person too- got a kick out of 12:12 PM on 12/12/12! My Wednesday involved mulled wine….first time trying it and I loved it- it’s like wine tastes like chai!
